types of machinery which we build. The de- 
scriptions are only outlines, and fuller information 
either by catalogues or by correspondence will 
be given upon inquiry. Illustrations of various 
plants are given on the last pages of this book, 
showing varied applications of our machinery. 
They are useful for the suggestions they offer 
in helping to solve important questions that 
are likely to arise when seeking some method 
to reduce the cost of manufacture or to increase 


the output of the works.

eight years’ experience.

expense of an industrial works. The justification 
of the purchaser in selecting the Hunt machinery 
is that it will reduce his pay-roll more than any 
other system, or it will increase the output of 
the works at the same labor expense. Instances 
almost without number could be named of the 
great savings which have been effected by the 


use of this machinery.

Power 


Station was located 800 feet from the wharf 


front. The coal was unloaded from 
vessels with a one-ton steam shovel outfit, carried 
to the 6,000-ton storage pocket by a cable railway, 
taken from the pocket by a conveyor and delivered, 
night and day, to the front of the boilers for a 
total cost, including the interest on the investment, 
of an amount less than 34 cents per ton. It 
previously cost them 27% cents per ton, on 
25,000 tons of coal per year. This installation of 
machinery paid them above interest and all 
operating expenses a net profit for dividends of 


24 cents per ton.

materials. Suppose that a system of track and 
cars in a manufacturing establishment would save 
the wages of a boy at only fifty cents per day. 
This saving of $150 per year would pay ten per 
cent. interest on an investment of $1,500. One 
can scarcely imagine a place where so large an 
investment could be made for a system of tracks 


and cars, and no greater saving result. 


A Smelting Company put in about 700 feet 
of Industrial track, the necessary switches and 


twelve specially constructed cars. Their pay-roll

the capacity and efficiency of the works was

Lincoln Wharf Station. 


The Hunt Steeple Tower is specially adapted 
for the rapid unloading of vessels. One of the two- 
ton towers shown in the illustration, on a test 
hoisted at an average rate of 268 tons of coal per 
hour and the other at the rate of 320 tons per 
hour. Four years after erection, in ordinary ser- 
vice, hoisting from an ordinary sailing vessel, they 
handled 3,250 tons of coal in a working day of 11 
hours.’ 

This hoist is best suited to those cases where the 
highest speed of unloading is essential. 

The Steam Engine for use with this hoist is 
shown on page 38, but an electric hoist (see page 
34) when current is available, can be used, in 
which case the services of a licensed engineer 
would not be required.

at Puget Sound, Washington. 


The U. S. Battleship “Virginia’’ recently 
broke the world’s record for rapid coaling at this 
plant, by taking on board 1,667 tons of coal in four 


hours, the maximum amount taken on in one hour 
being 550.9 tons. 


The tower booms project over both sides of 
the pier in order that the vessel may be unloaded 
when lying at either side. The pier has bunkers 
from which the coal is loaded into vessels, the 
storage building being about 350 feet away. Coal 
is transferred to and from storage by two cable 
railways; one carrying the coal from the vessel to 
the storage building, and the second railway re- 
claiming the coal and carrying it to the vessel to 
be loaded.

The Coal Handling Machinery at this station 
includes three double Steeple Towers, two Cable 
Railways and a large storage pocket. The coal 
is unloaded from colliers by means of the Steeple 
Towers and taken to storage by a cable railway. 
When the storage pocket on the shore side is full 
the ground space beneath and around the pocket 
is utilized, thus giving the great storage capacity 
needed for a naval reserve station. The coal is 
reclaimed by a second cable railway and carried 
to the cruisers or battleships at the wharf front. 
Here are measuring pockets aggregating several 
hundred tons capacity, all ready to spout to the 
vessel bunkers. A battleship is coaled at the rate 


of over 500 tons per hour.

The Curved Boom Tower is_ especially 
adapted for hoisting coal from vessels in the most 
economical manner. It uses a two-cylinder hoist 
and requires the services of but one man in the 
tower. Where current is available and it is 
desired an Electric Hoist may be used with 
equal efficiency. It does its work with less labor 
expense per ton of coal hoisted than any other 
style, which commends it for use in coal yards 
and for manufacturing companies where the 
highest economy in the labor cost of unloading is 
desired. 

The Boom when not in use swings horizon- 
tally sideways over the wharf.

the past fourteen years it has been in constant 
operation, and we have never yet been able to 
ascertain the full limit of the machine. The cost 
for maintenance and repairs, outside of ordinary 
wear and tear, has been comparatively trifling 
as compared with other machines of the same 
class operated in this harbor, and we do not see 
how we could get along in our business without 
our old, reliable Hunt Elevator.

This Coal Hoisting Elevator is designed for 
rapid and economical hoisting of coal and ore 
from vessels. 
The steel tubs 
are filled by the 
workmen in the 
hold of the ves- 
sel and carried 
directly to the 
dumping place 
with any speed 
that the business 
demands. The 


motion of the tub 


is definite, so that there is none of the ordinary 
swinging caused either by a difference in speed 


of hoisting or by the effect of the wind on the tub. 


The boom projecting over the vessel can be 
worked at a material angle with the face of the 
wharf, so that it will reach a hatch twelve feet 
either side of the center of the tower. The boom 
does not move while the elevator is in operation, 
and when not at work is swung horizontally over 


the wharf, leaving the wharf front unobstructed. 
This is the standard hoist for general work. 


Detailed information will be found in our 
larger catalogue, which we will be pleased to 


send on request.

Cable Railways. 


We build three varieties of Cable Railways 
for handling coal and other bulky material in 
storage yards and buildings. The track is 21% 
inches gauge, and the curves are 12 feet radius, 
thus enabling the track to reach every part of 
the yard or buildings. 


HEAvy CABLE RatLway.—The steel cable 
runs constantly, and the cars are gripped to the 
cable at any point of the track, and are drawn 
around the tracks until the grip is released. This 
style railway is usually built so that the track 
forms a continuous loop, and the car passes over 
the entire track and back to the place of starting, 
automatically dumping its load at any desired 
point on the route. 


DouBLE SHUTTLE CABLE RaiLway.—Two 
cars are used, one running out loaded and the 
other running back empty, passing each other on 
a switch or a double track. 


- SINGLE SHUTTLE CaBLE RaiLway.—One car 
only is used, drawn back and forth by a cable, 
driven by a reversing steam engine or by a belt 
from shafting. 


We have installed a-large number of cable 
railways in power plants, coal yards, phosphate 
plants, cement mills, gas works, etc. 


We shall be pleased to mail to those inter- 
ested a copy of our ‘“‘Cable Railways’’ catalogue,

Automatic Railways. 


The Automatic Railway is the simplest and 
most economical way of carrying coal back from 
the front of a wharf to the storage bin or pocket. 
It is an elevated, self-acting railway, operated en- 
tirely by gravity. The chief feature consists in 
storing sufficient energy, which has been acquired 
by the loaded car descending an inclined track, 
to return the empty car back to the loading 
place. 


The coal is hoisted from the boat either by 
horse, electric or steam power, and dumped into 
the car by an attendant. One man only is 
needed to operate the railway. to load the car 
and start it. 


This is the standard railway for handling 
coal in coal yards and in~ gas works. It is 
equally well adapted for handling other bulk 
materials. 


We have installed a number of automatic 
railways in power plants, for carrying the coal to 
the storage bins over the boilers. The special 
dumping arrangement enables the coal to be dis- 
charged at any point, thus securing even distribu- 
tion of the coal in the bins. 


We furnish the car and all working parts, 
the purchaser furnishing the timber and labor of 
erection.

with either D. C. or A. C. motors and controlling 
apparatus to correspond with the work to be done. 

The smaller sizes are fitted with leather-lined

Enclosed Gear Hoists. 


In this style the gears, shafts and bearings 
are enclosed in a cast iron dust and oil-tight case, 
as shown in cut No. 068. These cases are made 
in a series of six sizes, covering the ordinary 
range of hoisting where protection to the gears 


is a desirable object. 


There are two sets of gears arranged in a 
symmetrical manner on each side of the main 
shaft. Each set transmits one-half of the power 
to the wheel on the drum shaft. The gear teeth 
are large machine-cut, and the shafts are liberal 
in diameter. The bearings are brass bushed and 
easily renewed. The ratio of gearing is made to 
correspond with the particular motor to be used 
and the load to be hoisted. A removable cover 
on the side of the case gives access to an exam- 
ination of the interior. The advantage of the gear 
case is that in addition to its high mechanical 
efficiency it protects the gears and _ bearings 
from flying sand and dust. The gear teeth 
and bearings run under ideal conditions of 


lubrication. 


The drums, brakes and friction clutches on 
these hoists are the same as those used on the 


open gear hoists.

Steam Engines. 


Our double cylinder coal hoisting engines are 
unusually massive in construction, and especially 
designed for heavy duty in continuous service. 
The steam passages are so arranged that all con- 
densed water automatically drains away from the 
cylinder, and danger from freezing is avoided. 


The steam cylinder clearance is reduced far 
below the amount usual in this class of engine, 
reducing the direct waste of steam to a minimum, 
and also diminishing the amount of the initial 
condensation. 


The friction clutches are carefully designed 
and made; the brakes are easily handled, and the 
rope drums are unusually large in diameter. 


Cut No. 0580 shows a double cylinder, single- 
drum engine for ordinary coal hoisting with tubs. 
Other styles are made for steam shovel hoisting, 
one of which is shown in cut No. 0582. 


We build several sizes of these engines with 
cylinders varying from four to fifteen inches in 
diameter. 


We publish an illustrated catalogue on 
“Steam Hoisting Engines,” which we will take 
pleasure in sending on application.

Mr. Stuckey, the constructor of the furnaces, 
made the following statement as to the merits of 
this engine: 

“It is decidedly the best engine for heavy 
constant work I have ever seen in my 39 years of 
experience as a blast furnace constructor. This 
engine has been in constant operation from 
August 1, 1901, to the present time, night, day and 
Sunday, the only exception being shut-downs of 
about two hours to apply new cables to the rail- 
way every five months. During all this time no 
repairs of any kind whatsoever have been made to 
the engine and no adjustment of any kind has been 
made other than to take up one-half turn on the 
metallic piston rod packing.”——November 10, 1905.

No. 0483. No. 0988. 


We make two kinds of buckets, the ‘‘ Duplex,” 
shown above, and the ‘‘King,” shown on the oppo- 
site page, the principal difference being in the 
closing mechanism. Each bucket requires two 
hoisting ropes, one for closing the bucket and the 
other for holding it while it is being dumped. 
In hoisting, the load is divided on the two ropes. 

These buckets are unusually heavy and strong, 
being intended for regular and continuous service. 
Steam or electric hoisting engines may be used 
with equal facility to operate these buckets.

“King” Grab Bucket. 


No. 0979. No. 0979B. 


Each style of our buckets is distinctly heavier 
than those commonly used. The object of this 
rugged construction is to have them less liable 
to accidents and delays; to fill more completely, 
and also to insure a greater durability in service. 
If the bucket is less efficient, or less reliable 
than it should be, it cripples other machinery 
costing perhaps ten times as much as the bucket 
itself. 

The main bearings of each style are brass 
bushed, so that should wear occur a new bushing 
brings the mechanism back to its original effective- 
ness. 

We have had twenty-five years’ experience 
in building this class of bucket, commencing their 
manufacture in 1885. Customers get the benefit 
of this extended experience.

Coal Tubs. 
Side Catch. 


No. 03198. No. 0983. 


We make Coal Tubs with two styles of fasten- 
ing: Side Catch, cut No. 03198, and Back Lever, 
cut No. 0982, on opposite page. 

The general appearance is the same and the 
body of both tubs is the same, the variation being 
in the method of locking the body of the tub to 
the bale. 

Using these tubs, a cargo of coal, broken stone 
or iron can be unloaded with less physical 
exertion for the workman than with any other 
style in use. 

The vertical height of the tub over which the 
workman must shovel the coal is less than that of 
any other style. They are top-heavy when loaded 
and automatically dump when the catch is released. 
When empty they are bottom-heavy, and auto- 
matically return to their upright position.

Coal Tubs. 
Back Lever. 


No. 0982. No. 9968. 


The catch and the handles of the tubs are so 
placed that the workman, without shifting his hold, 
can dump the whole contents at once or slowly 
pour it out. The wheels are unusually large in 
diameter, and the face wide, in order that the 
tub will run more easily on the irregular plank 
floor on which it is frequently used. 

The perfect mechanical construction and the 
full weight of the sheet metal used in their manu- 
facture insure ample strength and the greatest 
durability in service. No one can afford to pur- 
chase a tub without first ascertaining the quality 
and price of these tubs.

Coal Tub catalogue, sent on request.

The tubs shown in cuts Nos. 0959 and 0957 
are especially designed for handling earth, 
sand, clay, concrete and similar materials. They 
are made without wheels, but have many of the 
advantages of the coal tubs described in the 
previous pages. They are made in the most 
substantial manner, of the best materials, and 
adapted to the ordinary requirements of shaft, 
trench and concrete work. Like the coal tubs, 
they are so balanced as to be self-dumping and 
self-righting. 

They are made in five sizes, suitable for the 
ordinary requirements of builders’ or contractors’ 
work.

Bottom Dump Tubs. 


No. 0986. 


In handling concrete, the material is harden- 
ing while being carried and gradually incrusts the 
inside of the tub until it becomes necessary to use 
considerable force in order to remove it. For 
this reason our tubs are specially constructed of 
steel boiler plate sufficiently strong to stand the 
rough usage to which it is exposed through the 
efforts of the workmen to dislodge the concrete 
from the sides of the tub. 

The jaws are under easy control at all times, 
and the opening can be adjusted to suit any 
conditions. Should it be necessary at any time 
to put in duplicate parts, the jaws and mechanism 
can be removed from the body of the tub ina few 
minutes. All parts are interchangeable.

Manila Rope Blocks. 


A lignum vite sheave causes less wear ona 
manila hoisting rope than any substance known and 
as the rope must be renewed frequently, it is 
more economical to pay a high price for an 
unusually fine and large hoisting block that will 
double or treble the life of the rope, than to use 
a small and cheap block, especially as the block 
will outwear a hundred ropes. 

Our blocks have lignum vite sheaves sixteen 
inches in diameter and two and a quarter inches 
thick, by far the largest rope sheaves made commer- 
cially in any country. From the large diameter 
the rope suffers less internal wear, as it is bent to 
a less degree. These blocks are fitted with uni- 
versal joint, which permits them to adjust them- 
selves accurately in line with the hoisting rope. 

Blocks Nos. 1015, 9943, 9945, 9946 and 9947 
have 16-inch diameter sheaves only. 

Block No. 9948 has 10-inch diameter sheaves 
only. 

Block No. 9949 has 10-inch diameter sheaves. 

A duplicate line of these blocks is made 
with metal sheaves for wire rope.

Plumbago Laid Manila Rope. 


We manufacture a special rope made from 
the best quality of selected Manila Fibre, laid up 
with a tallow and plumbago lubricant. The twist 
of the threads and of the strands are carefully 
adjusted to the class of work to be done. 

The plumbago reduces the internal friction 
in bending over the pulleys, and the tallow makes 
the rope partially waterproof, It is the only trans- 
mission rope that is not materially injured by ex- 
posure to the weather. 

We guarantee that more work can be done with it, 
in proportion to its cost, than with any other rope in the 
market, without any exception whatever, and will gladly 
refund the difference in price if it is not all we claim. 
You cannot lose one cent in making a trial of 
this rope. 

This rope is made in one quality only, but it 
is laid up in two styles, one for RopE Drivine and 
the other for Coat HoisTinG Fats. Cable laid 
ropes for well driving and deep drilling are made 
to order of the same quality of fibre. 

The standard “‘coil’’ kept in stock is about 
1,200 feet, but we make them of any length 
up to several thousand feet, in one piece, with- 
out a splice. 

For horse-power strength, suitable loads, 
prices, and other information, see larger catalogue. 

All sizes kept in stock for prompt delivery.

Tension Adjusting Coupling. 


We furnish Transmission Rope cut to exact

Coupling Ready for Use. 


In service the rope usually stretches and the 
sag then becomes too great. Instead of re-splicing 
the rope, it is shortened in the following manner:— 

The couplings are fitted with an internal 
ratchet, which can be loosened to twist up and 
thus shorten the rope. When the rope has been 
shortened until the sag is correct, the ratchet is 
fastened to keep the rope from untwisting. 

By the use of this coupling, the cost and the 
delay caused from resplicing the rope as it wears 
are avoided ; the original diameter of the rope is 
maintained, and tension pulleys may be dispensed 
with. All of the ropes in a multiple drive can 
be kept at the same tension. The adjustable 
coupling is not only convenient in installing the 
rope, but permits it to be shortened from time to 
time, so that the sag can be kept at a constant 
amount.

While usually called a Conveyor, and

buckets hang upright in all positions of the chain, 
consequently chain can be run in any direction.

The Campbell Soup Company of Camden, 
N. J., in planning its new works, found that one 
of the most serious problems with which it had to 
deal was the procuring of sanitary conveying 
machinery capable of economically and efficiently 
handling the large quantities of vegetables used in 
the preparation of its famous Condensed Soups. 
The cleanliness that must obtain in a modern plant 
manufacturing food products makes the use of 
non-corrosive machinery compulsory. 

The food materials as received from the farms 
are carefully examined by experienced attendants. 
The vegetables are not thereafter touched by a 
workman’s hand, for at this point in the process 
they. are received by the Hunt Conveyor, which 
carries them above the first floor to a height of 40 
feet, where they are automatically discharged into 
any one of 36 block tin lined cooking kettles, 
arranged in two rows along a distance of 140 feet. 

The Conveyor has a capacity of over 100 tons 
per hour, each bucket holding 300 pounds and all 
the 112 buckets in the chain are coated inside 
and outside with a vitreous white enamel, which 
is baked on. See cut No. 1062, above. 

In designing this Conveyor, every detail has 
been arranged so that at frequent intervals it may 
be subjected first to a thorough washing with hot 
water and then to a sterilizing jet of steam, 
cleansing it as thoroughly as the most fastidious 
could desire.

Coal Crackers. 


These Coal Crackers are designed for break- 
ing lump bituminous coal into pieces small enough 
to feed through automatic stokers. The rolls have 
hardened steel chisel 
points, that split or 
crack instead of 
crushing the lumps, 
thus giving the least 


possible amount of 


dust coal. If one of 


No. 0016. the steel points gets 
broken or worn, a new one is screwed in its place. 

The breaking rolls are enclosed in a frame, 
so that no dust from the rolls will get either in 
the gearing or in the room in which the cracker 
is located. The gearing also runs in a bath of 
oil, giving perfect lubrication at all times. The 
bearings are all brass bushed, and easily renewed. 

These Crackers are of such massive con- 
struction that when an unbreakable object gets 
between the rolls, the machine stops abruptly 
without doing damage to itself. The distance 
apart of the rolls is either one and one-half, two 
and one-half, three and one-half, or four and one 
half inches, as ordered. The distance is not 
adjustable, thus entirely avoiding mechanical parts 
that are frequently the subject of breakage, caus- 


ing expensive delays and repairs,

Cut-Off Valves—Easy Working. 


In drawing coal and similar material from 
elevated bins, it requires a valve that can be 
easily opened, and also be easily closed against the 
flowing stream of coal. It is alsoimportant it shall 
be so constructed that in closing the larger lumps 
of material will be pushed either inward or out- 
ward, and not prevent the valve from closing. 


The normal tendency of these valves is to 
automatically close by gravity, so that there will 
be no danger of opening by vibration of the 
structure or the disarrangement of any part. 
These valves are usually opened by hand, but 
power can be applied to the larger sizes if that 
may seem desirable. 


We do not describe the valves in this 
pamphlet, but to give some idea of the variety 
needed to suit practical conditions, we present 
several pages of illustrations. Almost every re- 
quirement may be met with one or another size of 
our standard types or their modifications. 


Engineers and Architects interested in the use 
of valves of this character are requested to send 
for our catalogue, which illustrates the various 
styles we build, and also gives clearances 
dimensions for use in making their working 
drawings. 


This data enables them to specify standard 
valves which can be purchased from stock, these 
always being better as well as cheaper than valves 
of special construction.

Few realize the saving made by the use of a 
narrow gauge track and suitable cars in handling 
their raw and finished materials. Assume, for 
example, that a system of tracks and a few cars in 
a manufacturing establishment would save the 
wages of a boy at only fifty cents per day. This 
saving of $150 per year would pay ten per cent. 
interest on an investment of $1,500. One can 
scarcely imagine a place where so large an in- 
vestment could be made for tracks and cars and 
no greater saving result. In one instance, a com- 
pany installed 700 feet of ‘‘ Industrial ” Track, the 
necessary switches and twelve cars, reducing their 
payroll $23.50 per day, about $7,000 per year, and 
also increasing the capacity and efficiency of the 
works. 


One man can push a loaded car to any part 
of the works, because it runs easily on the 
switches and curves. Ifa rigid wheel, instead of 
a flexible bearing car is used, it will take two or 
three men to get a loaded car around the curves, 
and once on the job, they will stay with the car 
all day. That is, the labor cost of operating a 
Hunt car is so much less than any other narrow 
gauge railway, that, looking at the cost of operation, 
an ordinary track and car could not be accepted 
as a gift. 

We publish a large catalogue, ‘‘ Industrial 
Railways,’’ which is a very comprehensive treatise 
on the subject, and contains valuable data for the 
use of Engineers and Architects, and to others 
interested in the matter. A copy will be for- 
warded on request.

Standard ‘‘Industrial’’ Track is made up in 


four styles: 


Ist. RiveTeD Up STEEL TRACK, in sections 
20 feet long, with the ties spaced 24 inches apart. 
center to center, and the end ties placed together 
at the joint in the rails, thus giving the greatest 


support where the track is weakest. 


2nd. We also manufacture this track riveted 
up with malleable iron cross-ties instead of those 
of our standard rolled steel. The ties are es- 
pecially suited for places where it is feared that 


the ordinary cross-ties will rust out. 


3d. Rolled Steel Rails, for KNocx-Down 
Track, furnished in mill lengths with or without 
corrugated section steel cross-ties, clips, and four- 
bolt fish-plates. 


4th. THE CastT-PLATE TRACK, made up of 
straight sections five feet long. The surface is 
roughened by diamond-point projections to pre- 


vent the workman’s feet from slipping. 


Our catalogue, ‘‘Industrial Railways,” for 
practicing engineers, contains very complete in- 
formation concerning this system. A copy will 


be sent on request.

Scales. 


No. 0932. Cast-Iron Frame Scale with Cast-Iron Floor. 


The scale has been especially designed for 
use with our “Industrial” Railway and to with- 
stand the rough usage that a track scale receives. 
The whole scale is made of metal and the floor 
surface is roughened with small diamond-point 
projections, similar to our cast-plate track. The 
dust-proof beam box CAN BE SET TO FACE IN ANY 
DIRECTION. 

The beams are arranged to set the tare beam 
to balance the weight of the empty car, and the 
load beam to give the net weight of the load. The 
beams are graduated to pounds, or to kilograms 
when so ordered. 

THERE ARE NO LOOSE WEIGHTS TO BE HAN- 
DLED OR GO ASTRAY, and the scale is pleasing in 
appearance. 

Made with a platform 5 feet or 7 feet long 
and from 2 to 5 tons capacity. 

We also furnish scales with wooden platform 
and beam box, in five sizes, from 2 to 10 tons 
capacity. We also make suspended scales for 
boiler rooms.

Turn-tables. 


The revolving table is 
supported on a ball race- 
AAraceway Way, 26 inches diameter, 
26 inch made of two forged steel 
DIAMETER. rings, one imbedded in 
the revolving top and the 
other in the base. The 
groove for the hardened 

No. 1087. steel balls in the steel rings 

is lathe-turned, which 

gives a durability and smoothness of motion that 

is not approached by any other method of con- 

struction. The raceway holds oil for lubrication, 

and makes an almost frictionless support, con- 

tributing greatly to the ease of operating the tables 
with loaded cars. 

The car track is 214-inches gauge, and is 
cast solid with the table. The tracks cross at 
right angles, but the entrance track on the outer 
ring can, in special cases, be at any angle desired.

Electric Locomotives. 


This storage-battery locomotive is specially 
adapted for use in all places where material is 
moved on narrow-gauge cars. With it one man 
can handle all the material of a large manufactur- 
ing establishment. 

It has running gear arranged to run around 
curves of 12 feet radius. 


No. 0623. IMPERIAL OIL COMPANY, Sarnia, Ont. 
Narrow-gauge Electric Locomotive. 


A storage battery furnishes the power during 
the day, and is re-charged at night, or when the 
locomotive is idle during the day. No trolley 
wires are used. 

The locomotive will run on any track, per- 
manent or temporary, or on any grade used ina 
manufacturing establishment. 

Every wheel is a driver, thus utilizing every 
pound of weight to give draw-bar pull.

Advantages. 


Simplicity itself. 
Ready to use, day or night. 


No fire risks, and the insurance rates are not 
affected. 


Cheaper to operate and maintain than a span 
of horses. 


No expense on Sundays, holidays, or when 
work is slack. 


The machinery is above the platform of the 
car. 


The batteries require no attention from morn- 
ing till night. 

Batteries are as easily examined as though on 
a table before the inspector. 


Has an ample range of working speeds for 
shop or yard work. 


After one of these electric locomotives had 
been working some months ina large manufactur- 
ing concern, the superintendent thought they 
really had but little use for it, as it was only in 
operation a few hours each day. Through care- 
lessness it was run off the end of the track, and 
they were unable to use it for two days. During 
that time it required 25 men each day to do the 
same amount of work which the locomotive and 
its driver had been performing so efficiently and 
so quietly that the superintendent had overlooked 
the importance of the work the locomotive was 
doing. 

We will be pleased to send further informa- 
tion to those interested in reducing the expense 
for handling their materials.

McDonald-Mann Quenching Chutes. 


The material advantages arising from the use 
of these chutes, as well as the reduced cost of 
handling the coke to storage, are so great that 
we believe that an engineer is not justified in 
neglecting to carefully look into the great benefits 
which this machinery offers, both in its economic 
and in its administrative advantages. 


The coke is quenched in closed bins. A 
material part of the quenching is done by the 
steam generated from the water sprayed into the 
compartment, which produces a bright silvery grey 
coke, instead of the black or dull looking coke 
produced by other methods. 


A smaller amount of breeze is produced 
than by the usual method, arising both from the 
small amount of handling from the time the 
coke leaves the retort until it is quenched and 
the quiet action of steam as compared with flood- 
ing with water. 


An incidental advantage which is highly 
appreciated by the workman is that the cellar 
and the charging room are free from steam and 
gases always incident to any other of the older 
methods of quenching. 


We will be glad to place full information at 
the disposal of our customers which will enable 
them not only to appreciate the advantages of 
these chutes, but to assist them in their practical 
installation.
